coach daddy

I can give you my thoughts now, Mayville has played 4 games, lost 3 and given up over 100 points twice. UND may score 130 tonite and Mayville won't get to 70. This one will be like the old days when UND would beat the Comets by 70. Mayville graduated alot of good players from last year and had another who can't play for "unspecified" issues. Not worth buying a ticket to.

Is it on the digital package? I haven't even thought to look for it.

Nice gets at Notre Dame and Cincinnati. The Bearcats aren't what they were with Huggie coaching but still an upper echelon program. Good luck to the "Yotes". Hope it all goes well.

I was of the opinion that military personnel under the age of 21 COULD drink on the bases they were stationed at. Am I wrong? I am against bringing the age down because if 18 year olds can buy alcohol, they will buy it for children who are even younger than they are. I know 21 year olds do this already but I believe they will do it to for an older (18) crowd than an 18 year old would. One of those responsibility issues that I believe comes with age.

He would have to have grown a lot to now be 6'8. It would be nice to know how serious he was recruited by area schools or DI schools in the midwest. That would tell us how successful this recruiting effort was.

Isn't there a baby in her future this fall/winter? Hard to think she'd play this year, maybe the year after. I hate to say it but this roster puts no fear in anyone. After Kimbrough and Guinn graduate, the cupboard is relatively bare. Not saying the young kids won't be players down the road but, boy, this is an unproven bunch. Even the sophs., besides Mallory didn't exactly light up the floor last year. Hope there are some great recruits coming in the fall of 09.

Why throw the people of GF under the bus? If the product was any good, we'd go watch. This has been beaten to death but look at the home non-conference schedule the men put together the last couple years; ridiculous. The fact that they were a last place team in the conference until the conference tournament doesn't change the fact that they were poor 75% of the year. I thought Chris had more class than that. Disappointed.

He was a year ago. Withdrew his name after being interviewed. He'll do well in Sioux Falls; great area, lots of players close to campus and a very good conference. Best of luck, Chris!!!

Chris has looked around the last couple years. I don't think it is anything against Coach Jones or UND; he just wanted his own team.

He and every other young coach trying to make a name for himself. How many assts. have left NDSU in the last 5 years? More than a person would probably think.

He's only been gone for 2 years. Aren't most of our players now kids he recruited? Wonder why he came back. Who is leaving?

I know there is a smile there, but I did not mean to imply blame to Hakstol. I'm not sure why he hasn't gotten any better, he just hasn't. I really don't care why but I think it is in the Caps best interest (and Joe's) to go know and find out what they've got in him.

I've heard that reopening might not be an option. Land possibly redeveloped and the building drastically made over. Pretty good source, we'll see.

Agreed!!! He needs a lot of work and, being a senior, not sure how much more college hockey will help him.

Can someone explain to me why one would leave UCLA to be a baseball coach at UND? Does he know how to get to weather.com and see what the climate for baseball is like here in North Dakota.

You are not only an idiot...........but also an idiot w/too much free time.

While their enrollment may be cut in 1/2 with the new high school coming, At least we'll see most of the EDC schools w/similar enrollment numbers. Right now, the playing field is not level. South shouldn't be graduating 600 kids a year and everyone else 300. I also believe the new high school will be better for educational purposes too. Class sizes have to be smaller and the buildings less crowded after the new school is finished. Seems like a no brainer to me. West Fargo, you're next!!! Bismarck, not too far away either.

You eat at a soup kitchen? What put you there, alcohol? Meth? judging by your post, you're just plain nuts!!!!

Good point. I think the high priced homes has always been a problem for GFRR and Central. Right now, I believe there are enough kids from the Schroeder Middle School that go to Central to offset some of these concerns.

The east-west division line is interesting. I would go east to Central seeing as it more along the river and west to GFRR since the school would be on the west side of town. The real interest is how many of Central's athlete's are open-enrolling to Central from the RR district. Someone should research that little ditty. What you find might surprise alot of people. I know at Fargo North this year, their boys basketball team had 3 starters from the South district. It's a problem everywhere.

I'm not trying to punish anyone. Truthfully, since NDSU and SDSU left the league, I haven't attended very many games at all. No one hopes for a successful transition to DI more than me but financially it makes no sense for me to spend alot of money on UND bball right now. I've said several times here that I like the direction Coach Jones is going w/program recruiting wise and I hope they find a league ASAP. I know that common sense and rational decisions have no place on this board. Sorry for tearing at the tradition of UND basketball

You've got 4 home games listed. You can go ahead and add Mayville, Minot, Dickinson, and Valley City to that list. Maybe Mary also. If not buying season tickets makes me a bad guy then so be it. I'll watch USD when they come to town and maybe Green Bay. But I'm not spending alot of money to watch DAC teams play at the Betty. The DAC plays conference games on Friday's and Saturday's, its 40 miles to Mayville and $8-$10 to see doubleheaders of DAC competition. I'll watch em play each other if its all the same to you.

Pardon my French sir but, "You are Nuts". Joe Finley never was and never will be compared to Craig Ludwig. Idiotic to put them in the same sentence. As a Sioux fan I want Finley to sign so he quits screwing things up for us!!! Go Caps Go!!!! I know I said earlier he'll never play in the NHL. Never may be too strong. However, he will never play the way Ludwig, Patrick, Baron, Bombardir, or even Roche have played professionally. He isn't that good.

Be a waste of money to get season tickets..........probably for the next 3 years or so!!!

I doubt the kid from Warroad got a full. Maybe a walk on with a promise for the future.
